  • Full Description

    The quality of the carving and the choice of the phoenix as subject are clear indications that this extremely rare piece was made for imperial use. Although it was obviously part of a larger piece, its scale indicates that it was not for a piece of standard design or size, but rather a special and unique piece probably intended for the household of a princess or empress.
